The Arsenal striker picke dup an ankle injury against Charlton. "My feeling is that it could keep him out. He hurt his ankle in a tackle and it looks very bad," said Le Boss.

But Arsenal haven't stopped Thierry travelling. Apparently he's in France and the French Football Federation's doctor will make a decision tomorrow on whether the player will set off down under with the squad on Wednesday.

Wenger is also reported as having said that Ljungberg could miss the England-Sweden game on Saturday with a shoulder problem.
